122 POWDER HORN OF CAPT. LEWIS COLBURN.

POWDER HORN OF CAPTAIN LEWIS COLBURN

THE recent interest shown in inscribed powder-horns brings to mind the fact that the Dedham Historical Society has in its possession a horn of some historic association, as it was carried through the Revolutionary War by Lewis Colburn, a Dedham soldier.

The horn is a section about five inches long, having on one end the initials "M M", on one side the date "1770", and around the top a rather elaborate design of a double row of scallops, with ornaments above and below. Around the lower part are figures resembling trees, the whole evidently done with no better tool than a pocket knife. The initials "F" and "P" appear near one end.

After Mr. Colburn's death the horn came into possession of the late Timothy Baker of West Dedham, whose daughter presented it to the Dedham Historical Society.

Lewis Colburn was the eldest son of Samuel and Mercy Dean Colburn, and the fifth in line from Nathaniel Colburn, one of the first Dedham settlers. He was born in West Dedham, June 5, 1752, and married Mary Onion, Aug. 26, 1773.

On the muster roll of Dedham soldiers in Capt Guild's company Col. Greaton's regiment, assembled on the 19th of April, 1775, his name appears as Serg't Lews Colburn." Mrs. Helen (Colburn) Fisher has kindly furnished some facts in regard to him.

[ocr errors]

After the war he took an active part in Shays's Rebellion. He is described as a tall, broad-shouldered, finely-formed man of soldierly bearing, fair-complexioned, lively, well-informed and fond of jokes and story telling, and especially of recalling his army experiences. Some of his descendants now living remember his interesting account of driving a team loaded with army stores and ammunition from Boston to West Point, at that time of so great strategic value.

He died in West Dedham, June 1, 1843, aged ninety-one years. E. F. C.
